The governor’s Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed, stated this while addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Damaturu, the state capital.

He expressed happiness with the massive feeding programmes provided by the state government, individuals, and corporate organisations to orphans, indigent families, and vulnerable groups.

The governor advised the Muslims to continue to be good neighbours to one another and extend the spirit of the season to their neighbours.

Buni commended the security agencies in the state for their valued contributions to peace and stability of the state.

He reminded the people of the state to continue to pray for the unity, peace, security, and prosperity of Yobe and Nigeria.

Buni expressed the gratitude of the government and the people of the state to Almighty Allah for the improved peace and security, now being enjoyed across the state.

The governor said his government would in 2024 launch a massive agricultural programme to facilitate agricultural revolution in the state to enhance food sufficiency and security.

“I wish to use this opportunity to appeal to the good people of Yobe, especially our energic youth, to take advantage of this intervention to explore, exploit and expand the agricultural potentials in your various communities.

“Our government is committed to making agriculture productive, attractive, and profitable in the state.

“This is to promote food sufficiency and security in the state,” he said.

He assured the people of the state that the government would continue to provide the necessary infrastructure to fastrack development to improve the lives of the people.

“I pray and wish everyone a very peaceful and memorable Sallah celebration,” he added.
